Research Associate / Postdoc in the field of Quantum technologies
Fraunhofer EMFT conducts applied research on sensors and actuators. The 120 employees in Munich, Oberpfaffenhofen and Regensburg possess long-term experience and extensive know-how in microelectronics and microsystem technology, ranging from semiconductor processes and MEMS technologies to 3D integration and foil electronics. These technologies form the basis for the other competence areas at Fraunhofer EMFT: innovative sensor solutions, safe and secure electronics, and micro dosing. Fraunhofer EMFT in Munich is part of the ”Munich Quantum Valley“, together with the Munich Universities TUM & LMU, the Max Planck-Society, other Fraunhofer institutes and various industrial partners. In this context, the FhG EMFT is aiming at a mature pilot-line manufacturing of superconducting qubit chips in close cooperation with the Walter Meißner Institute (Bavarian Academy of Science). Quantum computing systems based on other qubit platforms like ion-traps are also supported.
